A microscopic description of coherent phonon oscillations generated by femtosecond optical excitation in both polar and nonpolar semiconductors is presented. For nonpolar semiconductors such as Ge,…
Phonon-assisted absorption of hypersound in a rectangular quantum wire
- Physics
- 2007
The mechanisms of the Landau-Rumer process and of the process of two-phonon decay of microwave phonons are considered for a rectangular quantum wire. For GaAs wires with a free surface and various…
The electron-phonon interaction in quasi-two-dimensional semiconductor quantum-well structures
- Physics

SummaryThe effect of the periodic potential and the residual Coulomb interaction on the inelastic scattering of light from pure electronic excitations in solids has been investigated by using the…
Effect of electronic disorder on phonon-drag thermopower
- Physics
- 2001
Using the quantum-transport equation and Keldysh diagrammatic technique, we investigate the phonon-drag thermopower in a disordered conductor. We consider phonon drag of three-dimensional electrons,…
The electron-phonon interaction from fundamental local gauge symmetries in solids
- Physics
- 2013
If spin-orbit effects are included, unusual couplings emerge between the strain field and the electronic spin current, leading to novel physics that may be relevant for spintronic applications.
Review on Raman scattering in semiconductor nanowires: I. theory
- Chemistry, Physics
- 2013
Abstract. Raman scattering is a nondestructive technique that is able to supply information on the crystal and electronic structures, strain, temperature, phonon–phonon, and electron–phonon…
